So overnight we had more snow and rather a lot of wind. We really get blown about a lot up on the hills and the sound of the trees swaying and the wind howling kept me awake for quite a while. I’ve just got back from a small adventure out into the snow – the fresh fall we had overnight is making everything look very pretty. The sun is currently shining, but it’s probably only temporary – we seem to get squalls come in every half hour or so. On my short walk down the hill I spotted this gentlemen skiing – he’d come quite a distance down Mt Pleasant and said he wasn’t looking forward to the walk back up very much!
